Drawing Your Favorite Food

A digital drawing shows an illustration of a glass filled with blue liquid, ice cubes, and a straw on a brown table next to a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Above the food are the words “family”, “italy”, “christmas”, “Heritage”, “comfort”, “warmth”, and “Pap” with a heart written in cursive in alternating green and red text.
